Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emitted today will last in the atmosphere for 50 to 200 years before it is absorbed. Consequently, today’s emissions could cause global warming for all of the next century. Read this article from the ARIC website.

As North Americans are the largest per capita contributors to Climate Change, we will need to be the first to open our borders to international Climate Refugees.  As sea levels rise and climatic conditions create flooding and drought, Canada, one of the world’s remaining areas of ample resources to provide for its population will need to [...]

  “Our ignorance is not so vast as our failure to use what we know.” —M. King Hubbert (1903-1989) Future historians will look back on the 200 years of the 20th and 21st centuries as the Oil Period in world history. During this time, the latent heat of buried petroleum will have been mined and released into a [...]

Rising temperatures are redistributing bacteria, insects and plants, exposing people to diseases they’d never encountered before. The spread of human disease has become one of the most worrisome subplots in the story of global warming. Incremental temperature changes have begun to redraw the distribution of bacteria, insects and plants, exposing new populations to diseases that they [...]

Although climate change due to global warming is a global issue and action needs to be taken by all nations, it is not new information. In the late 1890’s, a Swedish chemist, Svant Arrhenius, proposed that an increase in carbon dioxide could alter the atmosphere. Arrhenius hypothesized that if humans cause gases to accumulate at [...]

A simulation of projected changes in annual mean temperatures from the period 1975 to 1995 to the period 2040 to 2060 is shown here. According to this projection, the Arctic would experience the greatest annual mean warming followed by other areas in northern Canada and central and northern Asia.  Temperatures would generally increase as a [...]

As of January, 2010, atmospheric CO2 levels continue to hit new highs.  As such, 2009 tied as the 2nd warmest year in the 130 years of global instrumental temperature records. The Southern Hemisphere set a record as the warmest year for that half of the world.  For information on 2009 temperatures, see the CO2Now website. Here’s [...]
